Axl Rose was robbed of $200,000 in jewelry after a Guns N' Roses concert in Paris on Tuesday. The thief reportedly made off with three of the legendary frontman's gold-and-diamond necklaces.

A Paris police spokesman said that the theft occurred during a private gathering after the band's show at the city's Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy stadium. An investigation into the incident has been opened by police, who report Rose did not appear to be wearing the necklaces when the theft occurred.

The theft is the latest news-making incident to plague the band's European tour. Fans at Guns N' Roses' May 31 concert at London's O2 Arena were angered when security stopped anyone wearing a T-shirt featuring former lead guitarist Slash and asked them to remove it or be denied entry to the venue.

"We were told by the management not to allow anyone into the O2 Arena who is wearing a Slash T-shirt, and we are asking anyone who is to remove it, and if they refuse, they will be turned away," O2 Arena security told British music magazine NME.

Rose is the only original member of Guns N' Roses that remains in the band and he recently received widespread criticism over his decision to not attend the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He said his decision was "personal" and not "meant to offend, attack or condemn" any of his former bandmates. However, in a letter posted to the band's Facebook page, Rose declared that his decision to "respectfully decline my induction as a member of Guns N' Roses" was principally based on who the Hall decided to induct as members of the band.

"I feel we've been polite, courteous and open to an amicable solution in our efforts to work something out," Rose wrote. "Taking into consideration the history of Guns N' Roses, those who plan to attend, along with those the Hall — for reasons of their own — have chosen to include in 'our' induction ... and how those involved with the Hall have handled things ... [it] doesn't appear to be somewhere I'm actually wanted or respected." (Rose was booed in absentia by attendees at the Rock Hall induction ceremony.)

Guns N' Roses are scheduled to play in Moenchengladbach, Germany, on Friday before returning to France for a series of shows in Strasbourg, Toulouse, Clisson, Montpellier and Toulon as part of their European tour, which runs through July 22.
